About Me

CURRENT MISSION

... to learn something new at the Bienalle of Architecture in Venice.

ABOUT ME

I'm kind of normal person born in Ljubljana, Slovenia. After gymnasium decided to study mechanical engineering. And I don't regret this decision. While studying and living in Ljubljana, I used to perform in an amateur theater group called "Artizani", I had been rowing in University of Ljubljana rowing team, participating and organizing AEGEE (European student organisation) events, helping in a camp for people with cerebral paralysis. I also play an accordion although because of lack of time I can't do it as often as I would want to.

In a schoolyear 2011/12 I took part at an Erasmus student exchange in Munich during which I also graduated. Immediately afterwards I found I job here and decided to stay. Working life was great, but I got an offer I could not refuse - to become a PhD student at my home university and develop a high-efficient car-engine.

I like to enjoy time with interesting people around me. I love travelling and meeting new people and cultures. Living in a foreign country seemed like a logical step within that mission. Moving abroad again is definitely not excluded.

PHILOSOPHY

just enjoy...
